C2292 Zi Shi

Wu Yan's goal was to become the number one person under the Emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty, not the number one person in the entire Great Lu Dynasty. Therefore, he knew that reputation was very important to him. If the Emperor knew that he was secretly in contact with the Fengjue Country, he would be beheaded.

Therefore, Wu Yan wouldn't let anyone know that he was the one who cooperated with the army of the Fengjue Country to take down the city at the border. He didn't even mention the special envoys of the Fengjue Country in the capital.

"General, are we really going to open the city gates?" Just as he was about to leave, the trusted aide asked Liu Feng with some hesitation, "Those people of the Fengjue Country are all beasts. They can do anything. If they enter the city, the people in the city... It's going to be a disaster."

After all, they had been guarding this place for many years. They still have some feelings for each other. Therefore, that trusted subordinate of Liu Feng... There were still some who were unwilling to do so. However, military orders could not be disobeyed. He had no choice but to hope that Liu Feng could change his mind.

"Do you think I don't know what kind of people those Fengjue Country people are?" Liu Feng said with a cold face, "Of course I know what they will do after entering the city. However, there are some things that must be sacrificed in order to achieve their goals."

"You should know that if that Minister wins this time. What kind of impact will it have on our Minister Wu? At that time, Li Yuangu will become the true Minister of War. Once he finds out about our relationship with Minister Wu, what do you think? Liu Feng continued.

The confidant was silent. Obviously, he knew that once Li Yuangu truly gained control of the situation and knew about their relationship with Minister Wu, all of them would be finished.

"Besides, Minister Wu also said that he would give this city to the people of Fengjue Country. It's not necessarily a bad thing." Liu Feng continued, "Think about it. Every time the people of the Fengjue Country enter the pass, they will plunder everywhere. The range of impact is very large, and there are also many people who are affected. And if they take down the city, they won't go around looting. For the people of other places, isn't this a good thing?"

That trusted aide thought about it and realized that it was indeed so. Although... The civilians in this city might suffer. However... The civilians in other places would not be affected. This was also a good thing for the people of other places.

"Furthermore, the Fengjue Country people are not good at sieging cities, and they are even worse at defending cities. Give this city to them. This is equivalent to giving them a tomb, trapping them here. When we have free hands in the future, we can snatch it back from them at any time! Furthermore, in the city defense war, the people of the Fengjue Country were not good at it. They are unable to unleash their strongest combat strength. To us, this is... It's a good thing that we can use this city to attack and defend. Kill them as much as possible and destroy them. " Liu Feng said.

The confidant who was still doubtful about this matter also had his eyes lit up after hearing Liu Feng's words.

All along, they had always been at a disadvantage in the battle against the Fengjue Country. Even if they won a few rounds, they wouldn't be able to kill many people from the Fengjue Country. They would only chase them away.

However, once the people of the Fengjue Country had a city, it would be different. This could help them defend, but it could also trap them. At that time, as long as they surrounded the city... Where could the people of the Fengjue Country run to?

Therefore, having the people of the Fengjue Country in the city was akin to having a burden. It might not be a good thing.

If that was the case, the one who was the most injured in this matter... Only Li Yuangu and the people in the city were left. If Li Yuangu died, so be it. Those people weren't on their side to begin with. As for the people in the city... Just like what Liu Feng said, there must be sacrifices in order to succeed. These civilians could be sacrificed when the Fengjue Country was being surrounded. In any case, every time there was a war, people would die. But this time, as long as things went smoothly... They could still kill quite a number of people from the Fengjue Country. To them... Another great contribution!

And this was Wu Yan's plan.

First, he cooperated with the people from the Fengjue Country to take down the city. The responsibility lay with Li Yuangu. After that, he would snatch the city back from the hands of the people of Fengjue Country. Then, the credit would belong to him. The city would still be in his hands. At the same time, I will be able to defeat my political enemies... He could also gain credit and prestige. This was killing two birds with one stone.

As for the civilians who were sacrificed in this matter, it was not in Wu Yan's plan anymore. He did not know these people, so it was not a big deal to sacrifice some people in order to achieve great things.

Liu Feng was also moved by Wu Yan's words. He was the actual executor. The final credit would definitely be his. Of course, he was also willing to participate.

"Alright, go and prepare. We can't make any mistakes in this matter, understand?" Liu Feng said to his trusted subordinate. If this man wasn't his trusted subordinate, he wouldn't have explained so much.

"Understood." The subordinate nodded his head heavily. The worried look from before had completely disappeared. Now, he was full of fighting spirit and anticipation for the future.

Liu Feng was the general of the garrison in this city. He had been guarding this place for a long time. Naturally, he knew the defenses of this city like the back of his hand, even after Li Yuangu's arrival. It's only under his coordination that we set up the defense, therefore, Liu Feng was very clear about the defensive strength of the city. It wouldn't be too difficult to tamper with it.

Li Yuangu obviously didn't expect that the first person to express his sincerity and respect to him, Liu Feng, would be the first person to raise the butcher's knife at him.

Undercurrents were surging in the city. Many people were doing things in the dark, but the war outside the city was going on like a raging fire.

"How are our casualties?" In the encampment of the Fengjue Country outside the city, a person who looked like a commander asked the guards beside him.

"Currently, there are hundreds of casualties. Our brave warriors are very brave, but the enemies in the city are obviously prepared. We have never been able to climb up the city wall." The personal guard reported.

The commander frowned slightly. Obviously, such casualties were to him. One should know that every time they entered the pass, the casualties were not too great. Furthermore, they would be able to obtain quite a number of resources... And because of the siege this time, their casualties had exceeded the past.

"Sir, is there really a need for us to attack the city like this? Will there really be people in the city who will cooperate with us?" At this moment, the deputy general behind the commander walked forward and said. Obviously, he was also very distressed about such a loss. If it wasn't for the siege, how could those cowards from the Great Lu Dynasty have hurt so many of them?

"You should know about the Great Lu Dynasty and the capital. This is a critical period of peace. As long as we take down the city... Let the people of the Great Lu Dynasty know that our siege is also very powerful. His Highness the Prince was at the negotiation table when he was able to take down any of their cities. Only then will we be able to gain more benefits for us." The commander said, "Besides, we have been fighting with the Great Lu Dynasty for so many years, but we have never been able to conquer any city. This is an opportunity. Once we can conquer a city... Then, we will become the number one people in the Fengjue Country, and we will forever be recorded in history! "

As he said this, the commander's eyes shone with a bright light that was a little frightening. No general would be able to resist such temptation, and it was the same for him.

The deputy next to him also had the same thought. After hearing his superior's words, his breathing quickened.1

However, he was worried that the mysterious person who had sent the message earlier would really open the city gates like they had agreed upon. If the other party did not open the gates, it would be extremely difficult for them to break through the city.

"As for what you are worried about, there is actually no need for that." As if he knew what his deputy was thinking, the commander continued, "Although I do not know who the person who sent the message to us is, but... According to our investigation, that person's status in this city is not low... Furthermore, our Fengjue Country warriors aren't that stupid. I have always been on guard. I won't fall into their trap. Besides, as long as we reach the Zi Period, we will know if they will really cooperate with us. It would be best if the city gate can be opened from the inside. Even if it is not opened... Our losses will not be too great. As for plundering everywhere."

This commander had clearly thought it through. Before the city gate was opened, they were only feints, although they seemed to be fighting fiercely. But... In fact, most of them were just bluffing. Everything would have to wait until the Zi hour. At that time, if the city gates were to be opened, they would take the opportunity to go up. After entering the city, if the city gate was not opened, they would just retreat. Although they had already lost some people, such casualties... Furthermore, he would let the people of the Great Lu Dynasty... Pay the corresponding price.

After hearing what his superior said, the deputy didn't say anything else. Obviously, his superior had already thought of everything. There was no need for him to worry about it. All he needed to do was to kill the enemies on the battlefield.

The commander looked at the city that was burning with fire in the distance and said to himself, "The Zi hour is about to arrive. Everything will be revealed."

Indeed, Zi Shi was getting closer and closer. Many people were waiting for this time to arrive. The atmosphere in the air seemed to be much more solemn than before. Of course, many people did not know how special the time was. They only acutely felt that there seemed to be something changing around them.
